Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • ¾ cup reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce (divided)
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup yellow onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup plain bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 can sliced pineapple (drained)
  • 6 sesame seed buns
  • 6 lettuce leaves
  • 6 slices yellow onion
  • 2 ham steaks (fully cooked and each cut into 3 pieces)
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese

Instruction

  • Pat pineapple rings with a paper towel and place in a resealable sandwich bag. Add ¼ cup of teriyaki sauce and toss until pineapple is well coated. Set aside.
  • Using a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, onion, garlic, soy sauce, bread crumbs, pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Shape mixture into 6 patties. (Tip: Make the patties slightly thinner in the center. This will give the burger a better shape once cooked.)
  • Place burgers in a glass baking dish and pour remaining ½ cup of teriyaki over burgers. Let marinate for 15 minutes, turning once.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Remove burgers and pineapples from teriyaki sauce and discard sauce.
  • Grill burgers on medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
  • Flip burgers and grill for 4-5 more minutes, or until fully cooked. At the same time, add pineapple rings and ham steak to grill and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Layer bottom buns with lettuce and onion. Add burgers and top with Swiss cheese, grilled pineapple and ham.
